Cost for Hair Transplant

We are the first center in Hong Kong to advocate a Fixed Price Policy. After consultation the doctor will advise you the minimal number of grafts required for your procedure. We calculate your surgical fee according to this number of grafts. This is all you have to pay for!

What Happens to Extra grafts?
No graft will be wasted - All extra graft will be planted for free.

What Happen with Less Grafts?
If we cannot get the promised number, the difference will be refunded.

Example :
You pay for 1,000 grafts. If we get 1,100 grafts, you have the extra 100 for free.
If we only get 900, we refund the cost for 1,000 - 900 = 100 grafts.

•   All oral or topical medication required before and during procedure
•   Surgical fee
•   4 Months wound care and follow-up after hair transplant

Estimating the cost is a complicated factor, and cannot be done just by a phone call or email. The cost depends mainly on the number of grafts required to achieve the expected result. 4 factors must be considered:

1. AREA

During the consultation the patient and doctor need to first agree on where to transplant. Obviously the patient may want to fill up every empty spots. However the following factors must be considered:
•   Extent of current hair loss
•   Potential and extent of future loss
•   Is patient taking medication to prevent further loss
•   Budget of the patient

Priority
The purpose of hair transplant is to create a visual illusion of not being bald. When there is not enough donor hair or the budget limited, the patiens must decide which area should be transplanted first, the hairline or the crown.

Key Area Transplant
During consultation our doctor may suggest transplanting certain areas to receive the maximum coverage and best visual improvement.

2. DENSITY

The Basic - Appearance of Fullness
A full head of hair appearance is Maintained until approximately 50% of the original hair volume is lost. Thinning is apparent when light is reflected from the scalp, creating a "see-through". There is a critical density below which no visual impact will be perceived. Those with a limited budget or donor hair should make a compromise on area but not density

Recommended Follicular Unit Density
Different density will be requires to achieve expected result in different ethnic groups.

	Caucasian	African	Asian
Normal	100 / sq.cm ( 200 Hair)	60 / sq.cm ( 160 Hair)	90 ⁄ sq.cm ( 170 Hair)
Minimal	40 /sq.cm	24 /sq.cm	35 /sq.cm
Average	45 /sq.cm	35 /sq.cm	45 /sq.cm
Dense Packing	55 /sq.cm	45 /sq.cm	55 /sq.cm

3. DONOR HAIR AVAILABILITY

The following factors of donor hair must be considered when planning number of grafts:
•   Diameter of hair shaft
•   Color contrast between hair and scalp
•   Straight hair, wavy hair, or curly hair
•   Laxity at the Donor Area
•   Previous hair transplant, especially FUE
•   Density and Quality of donor hair
•   Size of Safe Donor Area, and amount of available donor hair for the life-time

4. EXPECTATION

During consultation, the doctor will determine the final cost according to:
•   Your expectation - average vs. high density
•   Level of the re-designed hairline
•   Hairline Restore vs. Add-on Density
•   The Recipient Area - shaved or not shaved
